ELECTRIC-LAMP FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 1, 1916.

Application filed May 5, 1915. Serial No. 25,880.

To all whom it'mag concern:

Be it known that I, ORVILLE E. Coon, a citizen of the United States,residing at -Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Spool-Stands, Thread-Guides, and Electric-Lamp scribed and subsequentlyclaimed.

Reference may be had tothe accompanying drawings and the referencecharacters marked thereon, whichform apart of this specification.

Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figurestherein. The principal object of the invention is thread, and anelectric-lamp-su'pport, comprising a unit which can be readily mountedupon a sewing-machinetable adjacentto a sewing-machine or betweenoppositely dis posed sewing-machines Figure 1 of the drawings is a viewin perspective of a combination spool-stand, thread-guide andelectric-lamp-fixture embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vievi in sideelevation of thepost with the spoolstand removed, the upper 'end of thepost, the thread-guide and the velectric-lamp-supporting pipe beingpartly broken away and shown in vertical section. Fig. 3 is a plan viewof the spool-stand. Fig. 4 is a central,

vertical section showing a broken-away portion of the post upon whichthe spool-stand is mounted.

Referring to the drawings wherein the invention is shown in preferredform, 1 is a hollow post having a base, 2, provided with means wherebyit can be readily attached to a sewing-machine-table, the base beingshown provided with screw-holes, 3,

for that purpose.

The upper end of the post has a head, 4, formed of oppositely disposedhollow lateral projections, 5 and 6, the projection, 6, being open.

The top of the head is-provided with a screw-threaded aperture, 7,adapted to receive a set-screw, 8.

A pipe, 9, has itsinner end mounted within the hollow projections, 5 and6, being secured therein by engagement of the setscrew, 8, wlth theinserted end of the pipe.

Theinserted end of the pipe is provided I with a lateral opening, 10,communicating with thehollow interior of the post and adapted to permita wire orcable, 11, to be run up'through the hollow post and into andthrough the pipe to an incandescent-- electrlc-lamp-socket, 12, on theouter end of the pipe.

A thread-guide in the form of a spider, 13, ismounted upon the top ofthe post, being centrally apertured to receive thesetscrew, 8, and beingclamped tightly between the top of the post and a lock-nut, 1 1, fittingthe set-screw, 8.

15, and immediately thereabove with op At a point intermediately ofthe-base, 2,,/

and head, 4, the post is formed with a shelf;

with an aperture, 18, which is adapted to receive andfit the adjacentoifset portion of the pdst. By having the offsets, 16, in line with therespective ofisets, 5 and 6, the post, 1, can be conveniently molded ofmetal.

In setting up the device, the spool-stand, 17, is passed down over thehead, 4, of the post, the aperture, 18, in the stand being adapted tofreely pass the offsets, 5 and 6. When the spool-stand has been forceddown upon the shelf, 15, it will be firmly supported thereuponv andprevented from rotation by means of the offsets, 16. After'thespoolstand has been thus mounted upon the post, the lamp-supportingpipe, 9, is 'wired before the pipe is applied to the post, after whichthe end of the pipe provided with the opening, 10, is inserted throughthe open projection, 6, into the hollow projection, 5.

1 The spider, 13, is'then placed upon the top of the post, theset-screw, 8, is screwed down tightly upon the inserted end of the pipe,9, and finally the lock-nut, 14, is screwed down with four pins, 19, andthe spider, 13, with tightly uponthespider, 13, to clamp thefour vicebeing adapted to be mounted upon the middle of sewing-machine table between two rows of sewing-machines, and to furnish light, spool-supportsand threadset located intermediatelv' of said base and head, aspool-stand mounted upon said offset on the post, anelectric-lampsupporting pipe mounted in said lateral opening in the headof the post in communication with the hollow interior thereof, and athread-guide mounted upon the head of the post.

2. A device of the class described comprising a hollow post having abase provided i with means whereby it can be attached to asewing-machine table, a head provided with a lateral opening, and,intermediately of said base and head, a shelf, and adjacent to saidshelf an offset, a spool-stand apertured to receive the offset-portionof said post and adapted to rest upon said shelf, anelectriclamp-supporting pipe secured in said lateral thread-guides, 20,this form of the de claim as new. and desire to secure opening in thehead of the post in cormnunication with the hollow interior thereof, a athread-guide mounted upon the head or the post.

3. A device of the class described comprising a hollow post having abase provided with means whereby it can be attached to a. sewing-machinetable, a head formed by oppositely disposed hollow lateral projectionson the post, one of said projections being open, said head beingprovided with a screwthreaded aperture in its top, said post havingintermediately of its base and head a shelf and adjacent theretooppositely disposed oflsets in line with the respective offsets formingthe head, a spool-stand adapted to rest upon said shelf and apertured tofit the offset-portion of the post adjacent thereto, anelectric-lanip-supporting pipe mounted in the hollow projections in thehead of the post and projecting out through said open projection, theinner end of said pipe being provided with a lateral wire-receivingopening communicating with the hollow interior of the post, a set-screwfitting the screw- I threaded aperture in the top of the post engageablewith the inner end of Said pipe, a

lock-nut on said set-screw, and athreadgulde apertured to recelve saldset-screw and clamped between said lock-nut and the top of the head.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand thislst day of May,1915.

ORVILLE E. COOK.
